"It must have been your eldest sister who instigated them. I saw her coming with my own eyes just now. When she saw me, she didn't even dare to say hello and just rode away on her bicycle. It was obvious that she was guilty."
In order to embarrass Li Hongwei, Li Pingwang went to the village and told Li Hongwei about buying a house for him in front of many villagers.
"It's boring living in the village alone. Go to the county town and buy me a house so I can stay there for two days and have fun."
Li Hongwei made a lot of money, and some people in the village were jealous. They took the opportunity to joke with Li Hongwei: "The old man is so generous. Seeing that Hongwei made money, he bought a house as soon as he said it. The old man is so lucky."
"That's right. Hongwei is a filial son. If he doesn't use the money he earns to support his biological father, who will he support?"
When Li Hongwei heard this, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.
At that time, his wife Liu Lanxiang said that he was asked for a house out of the blue, and it must be his elder sister Li Hongyan who instigated it behind the scenes.
There were too many such things in the past. When she wanted something and knew they wouldn't give it to her, she would instigate the old man to ask them for it, and then she would cheat them into giving it to her. Then she would take it back from the old man. It was her debt to the old man, not to him.
So even if he wanted to come back, he couldn't.
Now, after hearing what the villagers said, I was even more certain that this was Li Hongyan's story.
"I understand. Thank you for bothering me and for being so kind to tell me this." Li Hongwei couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
People sympathize with him. Besides, Li Hongwei is successful now and people are willing to get closer to him.
"It's okay, it's okay. You should discuss this matter with your father. I will go back now." The visitor came to inform Li Pingwang, but he didn't want to quarrel with him: "Don't tell your father. I told you."
"No, no." Li Hongwei is not a fool.
Wait until the person is sent away.
Liu Lanxiang didn't want to eat anymore: "Dad, what is he trying to do? Zhao Pengfei wants to get married, that's Zhao Faliang's business, what does it have to do with him?"
They are all from neighboring villages, and there are some nosy people who like to spread gossip everywhere.
Plus, Li Hongyan is a person who likes to show off.
Zhao Pengfei had a new girlfriend in the county town, and someone had already mentioned this to Liu Lanxiang.
"Stop talking." Li Hongwei didn't want to listen. He had his own ideas in mind: "I can't buy it for him anyway. Even if he wants to give the house to his daughter, he can't give it to her."
Liu Lanxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that he would become arrogant after making some money, so she was instigated by some people and bought a house for the old man.
If I bought it, it would definitely belong to Li Hongyan.
She refused to accept.
If the old man really lived there, she wouldn't say anything, but she just didn't want to take advantage of him for nothing. She was the elder sister-in-law who took advantage of others and then said she didn't, and never remembered other people's kindness.
Li Pingwang asked for the house in front of so many local people.
The purpose was to embarrass Li Hongwei and make it difficult for him to refuse, so he would definitely buy it for him.
As a result, there were completely different discussions in the village.
"Is Li Pingwang stupid? His son is so promising, but instead of treating him well, he continues to move his son's things to his daughter's house. What is he thinking?"
"Hey, you know that in Li Pingwang's heart, all the children of his eldest daughter Hongyan are treasures, and all the children of his sons are weeds. In his heart, he just hopes that his eldest daughter's family will have a good life, and then he will be happy."
"That's right. Life was so difficult for Hong Wei's family and Hong Jian's family. He said he was too old to take care of it, but he was more active than anyone else in Li Hongyan's family affairs."
Li Pingwang has always been a weirdo discussed privately by the people of Lijia Village.
Most people raise sons to provide for their old age. After their daughters grow up, they marry them off and receive a dowry, and that’s it. From then on, they just visit relatives.
Reasonable parents, when relatives come to visit and money is needed for medical treatment, will look for their sons and daughters-in-law. When the patient needs care in the hospital, they will let their daughters help out.
But Li Pingwang was determined to help his eldest daughter.
He also knew that some people in the village laughed at him for helping his daughter instead of his son. Whenever there was something wrong with Li Hongyan's family, he would go to the village entrance to show off so that people would think that he felt that his daughter's family was promising and worthy of his help, and that was why he helped her.
What: "My grandson Pengfei is dating someone in the county town."
"My Pengbo was admitted to a good university."
"My dear Peng Le, he came back from college and even brought a bag of snacks to see me."
"My Pengbo and Pengle are promising. The teachers in the school all praise them. My Pengfei is very smart."
Some people who couldn't bear to listen to him kindly told him, "Pingwang, no matter how good your grandson is, he belongs to someone else's family. He will take care of his grandparents and parents in the Zhao family in the future. It has nothing to do with you."
"Why don't you talk about the good things about your grandchildren?"
Li Pingwang didn't feel ashamed and said, "What's good about this? None of you know how to study hard. You will have no future."
In his eyes, all his granddaughters are getting married and will belong to their husband's family in the future. He has only one grandson, Li Chaochao, who is simple and honest. He lowers his head when he sees people, just walks along the wall and dares not speak. Li Pingwang looks down on him.
How could his grandsons be so good-looking, each more energetic than the other, and so eloquent?
But now Li Yutong has been admitted to university. When he was talking about his grandchildren, the villagers mentioned Li Yutong going to university.
"Xiao Yu was admitted to university and is now a college student. She has a promising future."
He even said: "The university she got into is not as good as mine."
Anyway, my granddaughters and grandsons are all worthless shit, and the grandsons born to my eldest daughter Li Hongyan are all gold nuggets.
Liu Lanxiang was so angry that she almost died, and Li Hongwei felt uncomfortable too.
The couple didn't sleep well that night, and early the next morning, Liu Lanxiang had to go to the county town.
"I have to tell Hong Jian and the others not to really buy a house for Dad."
Li Hongwei thought she was superfluous: "There's a lot of work to do in the fields, why are you going there? I'm sure she won't buy it for him."
Liu Lanxiang still wanted to go: "Then I'll tell mom."
She just wanted to complain to her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying that her elder sister-in-law Li Hongyan was plotting in the village behind her back.
Seeing Liu Lanxiang leave, Li Hongwei felt uncomfortable. Couldn't his elder sister just walk the right path?
Do you have to keep scheming and sucking blood from your own parents and brothers?
I thought about what he told him when I was really in trouble and wanted to borrow some money from his father.
"It was not easy for me to raise you up, and now that I have some money in my old age, you still come to ask me for it. You are really promising!"
The mocking Li Hongwei couldn't raise his head.
If he said, then how do you get the money to lend to my elder sister.
His father Li Pingwang said: "This is my money, I can give it to whoever I want."
He felt completely chilled by what he said.
Li Hongwei had made up his mind that even if his father sued him in court, he would not buy him the house.
